Elected officials continue to pressure AT&T to live up to the promises the company made on creating jobs with its massive profits from the Republican corporate tax cut bill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last Friday, a group of 27 Ohio House Democrats, led by House Minority Leader Fred Strahorn, sent a letter to AT&T Ohio President Adam Grzybicki calling on the company to bargain a fair contract with CWA members at AT&T Midwest and AT&T Legacy T that addresses job security and the return of offshored and outsourced work. A similar letter was sent earlier in July by Ohio State Senate minority leader Kenny Yuko, along with all of the Democratic members of the Ohio State Senate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Before the tax bill passed, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson pledged at least $1 billion in tax savings to create “7,000 good jobs for the middle class.” Instead, ongoing layoffs have compounded workers’ concerns about the company’s practice of shifting work to low-wage overseas contractors.<\/span><\/p>\n

“CWA Midwest and Legacy T workers want a fair contract that returns offshored or outsourced work and addresses employment security and the long term economic stability of the company, its employees and our state. We encourage AT&T to continue to work toward an appropriate resolution that is fair to Ohio workers and enhances AT&T’s long-term viability,” the Representatives wrote.

CWA also expanded a wave of radio ads to raise awareness of AT&T’s broken promise to use a portion of its $20 billion tax break to create jobs and to ask members of Congress who voted for AT&T’s $20 billion tax break to hold the company accountable, ramping up ads in Ohio, Illinois, and Colorado.
